Replying to: aqua33v6 (Sep 15, 2008 1:02 pm) Things are getting too personal here. Everyone needs to debate the ideas being expressed and not the people who are expressing them. However, please keep in mind that this discussion is about the GS 350 just as much as it is about the Genesis. In other words this is one of those what's better than what discussions, so yes, it does happen to be the place. It would be nice to keep it confined to those two vehicles, though. We need to work harder at that. Replies to this message: aqua33v6 (Sep 15, 2008 8:05 pm) pat (Sep 16, 2008 11:18 am)

Replying to: pat (Sep 15, 2008 3:14 pm) "Unfortunately every year close 900,000 buyers in this segment think otherwise and still buy an Accord or Camry every year. Hard to understand why ?" How can this be interpreted as having anything to do with a Genesis and GS350 comparison? I would love to discuss comparisons of the [GS350] and [Genesis], if given the opportunity.

Replying to: satyarg (Sep 15, 2008 11:57 am) I am going to drop this topic after this post, so I would like to say thanks in advance for everyone's patience. satyarg, I never once said that a Genesis was better than a lux segment car (or any other car for that matter), and I never said that there was anything wrong with you, or anyone else, owning ANYTHING. What I said was that it seemed as though you were trying to justify the extra cash that these cars cost simply based on name. That's it. I actually even said (and will say again) that Lexus products are generally very good and stand on their own merit. Just to throw it in, I think that BMW products are excellent products as well. I simply do not believe that it makes any sense to get all riled up and attack a new car coming into the market that is in the ballpark of the "upper crust" at a more friendly price point. If you liked your cars when you bought them, and still enjoy them now, then that is all that matters. Lastly, when did I post my net worth on this forum? Thanks to everyone for indulging me, and I hope you all have a great week. Replies to this message: pat (Sep 16, 2008 11:19 am)

Replying to: aqua33v6 (Sep 15, 2008 8:05 pm) Um, yeah. That's why I said part of what I said in the post to which you replied.

Replying to: jeffreid (Sep 16, 2008 5:35 am) Speaking for me personally, I would be sorry to see you go. Sometimes it's just best to ignore some posts. I hope you'll reconsider.

as I read jeffreid's post I was thinking, humm, someone's gonna miss this guy around here. And look what you posted to verify those thoughts! And I don't even visit this particular thread that often, either.

Now if they could just get the V8 cars to the dealership lots.

We purchased a Genesis and I love it! It drives so good and has all the luxuries of the other luxary cars. I looked at all other luxary cars and none have the room that the Genesis has. The car just feels good to drive and you get so much for the price and you cant beat it. If you buy the other cars over this one it is solely because of the name. Test drive the car and see. We did purchase the top of the line and its worth it. Replies to this message: veragen (Nov 11, 2008 5:42 pm) genesis9 (Nov 12, 2008 2:28 pm) carolinabob (Nov 13, 2008 3:08 pm) and 1 more...
